    Hi everyone.

    Long time lurker, first time posting.

    I have an Asus Z35F, that I'm currently running with a T2450 installed. I got a hold of a T7200, and popped it in there, and surpricingly enough, it doesn't POST which this CPU. I've tried figuring out whether this CPU is supported or not, and it seems like it is supported by the chipset, but not by the BIOS.

    Anyone knows?

    I had one of these for a short while. Mine had a T2300. According to this you have to upgrade the BIOS first to enable the T7200 to work. The BIOS can be downloaded from here.
